NOTE:
The fuse holder is shipped without the fuse
installed, install fuse AFTER completely connecting all
of the wires/cables. and all other installation steps.
6. Connect the voltage sense leads to the auxiliary batteries. AUX-1 is a
solid orange wire, and AUX-2 is orange/black. Each AUX lead needs
to be fused within 6” of the battery. Fuses MUST BE INSTALLED FOR
THESE WIRES, and are not included. The wires do not carry any
current, so the fuse should be sized for the wire gauge and length. If
you need to extend the wire, do so with at least 18ga wire.
7. If the auxiliary batteries being monitored do not share a common
ground with the main battery bank connected to the shunt, a negative
lead must be wired from the auxiliary battery’s NEGATIVE post to the
“CABLE” post on the shunt.
8. Determine the mounting location of the Display. The Display is
weather-tight from the front, but not the rear. Do not install the display
where the rear of the unit is exposed to water. The cutout hole is
2.0625in in diameter. The maximum depth of surface that is supported
is 1/2 inch. Once the hole is cut, remove the nut, washer and mounting
brace, insert the display from the front and then replace the brace.
Tighten the nut by hand, and then 1/2 turn or so. If it is being mounted
in a plastic dash, do not over-tighten the nut or you could risk cracking
the dash.
9. Run the SmartLink cable from the shunt to the Display. Since one end
has the Deutsch connector pre-terminated, and the other does not,
it may be better to start from one end or the other, depending on the
installation. Make sure that there is chafe protection if the cable passes
through bulkheads. The cable should be supported every 18 inches.
10. Install the Deutsch-style connector onto the pins of the SmartLink
Cable. See the following section that illustrates this procedure.
NOTE:
DO NOT insert pins before reading these instructions entirely.
11. Connect the Smartlink cable to both the display and the shunt. You can
connect to either connector on each device. Press the connector into
the receptacle until it snaps into place.
12. Insert the included fuse into the fuse holder. At this point the display
will power up, and be operational in a few seconds.
NOTE:
You may add a new device at any time. However,
you MUST remove and re-apply power to the entire
network for the new device to be recognized.
